Here lies dyslexic Arnie I was offered to be named Isacc Fire They said I could write my own tones Little did I know I'd have to be nails Rap once to pay spectres, twice to awake the dead. Ok so that was horrible and easily decipherable. Tells a very short story and a connotation wherever it is. Plus an homage to an old title. If I thought about it for more than a min I'd do a better job.

Thought I'd add to this regardless. What makes an NPC memorable? For me it's the voice acting.

So I was reminiscing about the days slaughtering darkspawn alongside Sten and Alister. Dragon Age Origins was released back in (I think) 2009 and yet it still holds some of my fondest memories of gaming. The reason: the NPC's. This game much like Pillars of Eternity is centered around a believable world and having it populated by a variety of characters, akin to real life. As a writer myself, characterisation isn't an easy thing to do. On the one hand, you have the job of making the NPCs that the main character is interacting with as relatable and realistic as possible, on the other you al
